Victims who have suffered a traumatic brain injury on the job face very specific challenges within the workers’ compensation system. No matter how small an incident may seem in the moment, or to other witnesses, it can present later as a serious injury. Workers’ compensation insurance will require extensive examination and documentation, not to mention the countless hours of time spent communicating with representatives. It pays to have an experienced Los Angeles brain injury lawyer by your side in such a hectic time. Our team can help relieve the stress, so you can focus on recovering and adjusting to the changes in your body and brain.

STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A BRAIN INJURY

If you were injured at work, even just a “little bump on the head,” you need to take steps to protect yourself. A small injury can be much larger under the surface, especially when it comes to the brain. You can take the following steps to protect yourself:

• Report the injury as soon as it happens, no matter how small.
• Visit a workers’ compensation doctor or notify your personal doctor that this is a workers’ comp visit so the proper paperwork can be completed.
• Request that a friend or family member help you with recording and documenting everything (brain injuries can result in loss of memory, compromised judgement, changes in mood, etc.).
• Consult with an attorney from our team at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP to make sure you have the legal protection you need.

Jobs That Put Workers at Risk of Brain Injuries

Many jobs put workers at risk of suffering brain injuries. Firefighters, for example, face a variety of hazards on the job, and can incur head trauma when responding to fires. Industrial workers in fields such as manufacturing, construction, and mining are exposed to dangerous conditions that can cause head injuries. Other professions such as healthcare, transportation workers, and law enforcement personnel also often suffer from brain trauma due to high-risk jobs.
